## What is AppLocker?

With AppLocker you can password protect individual apps on your iPhone and iPad - all at once or one at a time. It works with any app, Facebook, Photos, Tinder, Mail or banking and financial apps. You can also unlist apps from your device.
Stop worrying about your privacy when you lend your phone or tablet to a friend, colleague or family member. No one will mess with your important apps anymore. Just start AppLocker, configure a password and select the apps you want to keep private.

FEATURES

• No one can use or see the content without entering the password first

### 1/5 — Cannot Restore Subscription

*2026-08-26, version 5.7.2*

After a reboot, the app doesn’t recognize the subscription anymore. It forces the user to signup for a new subscription. The Restore Purchase button is fake, just text, not a real button.

### 4/5 — Can’t update

*2026-08-08, version 5.7.2*

*2026-06-28, version 2.7.4*

I forgot my password and there’s no way to enter the app now. Adding Forgot Password option would’ve been helpful.

### 1/5 — HORRIBE.

*2026-06-21, version 5.7.1*

This app is horrible!! I downloaded it so I had to use Touch ID to unlock Tailscale, but of course you have to pay for that! Then, I go to delete the app but it tells me it is open, right? So I go ahead and delete it but then it tells me it is open. I go ahead and kill the process, but OH NO! It auto restarted. Do NOT download this app, everything is locked behind a paywall and you can’t remove it!!!

Thank you to the creators of this app. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
